My 'Blurt' Prologue...

My story is a long one. Though, now that my life is on track- it feels like just that.A Story. Maybe someone else's story? I don't know.. Who would have thought this would begin from trying to learn how to touch type?This is where the idea of typing about my life, my story, on a screen begins. Surely, by the time I have finished pouring my heart out onto a blank canvas, putting it into words for someone other than me to understand, I should be able to type 60 words per minute andmy soul will be lighter. My head will be clearer. I will be complete...

8) Just for Today

Just for today..By Sally Meyer

Just for this morning,
I am going to smile when I see your face...
and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning,
I will let you wake up softly in your flannel p.j.'s...
and hold you until you are ready to stir.

Just for this morning,
I will let you choose what you want to wear...
and I will say how beautiful you are.

Just for this morning,
I will step over the laundry to pick you up...
and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning,
I will leave the dishes in the sink...
and let you teach me how to put your puzzle together.

Just for this afternoon,
I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off...
and sit with you in the garden
blowing bubbles.

Just for this afternoon,
I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you
scream and whine for the ice cream truck...
and I will buy you one, if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon,
I won't worry about what you are going to be
when you grow up...
I will simply love you for the joy you bring me

Just for this afternoon,
I will let you help me make cookies...
and I wont stand over you
trying to 'fix things.'

Just for this afternoon,
I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a 'Happy Meal'...
so you can have two toys.

Just for this evening,
I will hold you in my arms and tell you the story of how you
were born...
and how much we love you.

Just for this evening,
I will let you splash in the bathtub...
and I won't get angry when you pour water
over your sister's head.

Just for this evening,
I will let you stay up late...
while we sit on the porch swing
and count all the stars.

Just for this evening,
I will bring you glasses of water..
and snuggle beside you for hours...
and miss my favorite t.v. show.

And tonight when you are sleeping safe and warm in your bed,
I will think of the mothers and fathers
who mourn for the children they have lost.
I will remember the parents who sit by hospital beds,
watching over the little ones they love.

I will weep for those parents whose children are cold,
hungry and suffering,
and .... this evening,
when I kneel down to pray,
I will simply be grateful for all that I have..

Words that are close to my Heart.

Words are a powerful thing. These are words written by others that mean something to me, inspired me or given me a code to live by...
They can be found in labels- 'Quotes' and 'Close to my heart' I'll let you know at the end of each one where I have stolen it from and categorise them to how they are appropriate to me.... :) I hope you enjoy the words that are closest to my heart...
